FIZIKA 14 Radioactivity Dr. Seres István Dozimetry Background radiation The average natural backround radiation is about 1.8 mSv/year + artificial components, - mainly medical imaging (X-ray) and therapy – an average of 0.4 mSv/year, alltogether maximum about 2,5 mSv/year. The miain components of the background radiation: radon in closed buildings (about 0.5 mSv/year), raditaions from the buildings (about 0.4 mSv/year), cosmical radiation (about 0.3 mSv/year), Calium from our own body (about 0.2 mSv/year)

FIZIKA 16 Radioactivity Dr. Seres István Dozimetry Background Radiation For the professionals working with isotopes (doctors, researchers, etc.) the limit is 25 times bigger than the average background radiation (maximum 50 mSv/year), this is called as dose limit. The dose limit for the population is the double of the average background radiation, such as maximum 5 mSv/year. Lethal Dose : LD 50/30 = 4 – 5 Sv (50% of the people dies without treatment within 30 days
